Google Auto Login with iOS Apps

[bvondeylen]

Is there any way of configuring JAMF to send out login credentials for the Google Apps so students are not required to sign into each Google App?

Currently, they need to sign into Google Docs, then Google Drive, then Google Sheets, then Google Slides, etc

This is time consuming with younger grades.

Hoping there is a AppConfig way of auto signing into each of those apps based on username and email address fields.

There is a Google payload for configuration profiles, but the password still needs to be put in.

We are doing it without a configuration profile here. We have the student sign into either Classroom or Drive first, then the other Google apps know who the user is. I'm not sure why yours do not.

Even when we do send out Google Credentials via Jamf the student needs to Sign In on each app (although after sending out Credentials with Jamf, you just need to select your name within each app once).

BUT, when sending out Google Credentials from Jamf, it continually annoys you to go to Settings to type in your password, which is not good unless all staff/students are aware of this. So we have to go slowly and ask each teacher if they are ready, so when we send out the credentials the annoying popup windows begin. Difficult to do anything until the student types in their password.

Just tried this today. We use Drive, Docs, Slides, etc. but NOT GMail. From what I can tell, this is only useful for GMail, not everything else "Google". I think the option in the config profile setup should be renamed "GMail". Would be really nice if we could pre-populate the account name, domain, and full name for Google apps. I can live with them having to enter the password (though would be REALLY nice to have that pre-populated for younger grades, since they are known algorithm passwords). Per bvondeylen above, I did NOT see any place to "select your name" within each app - had to login from scratch with everything, even though user's account was set up in Settings.

@dmillertds ugh, that sucks. I was hoping this would configure Google apps, not just mail.

Any luck on this?
